DID YOU KNOW …St. Patrick’s School opened its doors in August 2000 with approximately 80 students in PreS thru 3rd grade? Due to our community’s growth and support, there are now 660 students in PreS through 8th grades; we have three sections of Kindergarten – 5th grade and 2 sections of 6th grade. We will graduate our 3rd eighth grade class this spring. Our new construction will allow St. Patrick’s School to enroll a capacity of 910 students with three sections to each grade with an efficient and accommodating environment where students are challenged to be their best.
INFORMATION ON THE NEW BUILDING PROGRESS – The construction will continue through the week with the crew taking Thursday off for the holiday. They will be working on putting the trust up as they start to make plans to enclose the roof before old man winter arrives. Remember to take a look at our website www.stpatselkhorn.org for updated pictures of the progress. PARISH/SCHOOL OFFICES CLOSED – OPPD requires that the power be shut down while the electrical wires are being run into the new addition. Therefore, the building will be closed on Wednesday, November 21st.
PARISH STEWARDSHIP INTENTION CARDS - St. Patrick’s Parish and the Archdiocese of Omaha have been conducting our annual stewardship renewal. Each family in St. Patrick’s Parish was mailed a green parish intention card and an archdiocesan 2007 Feed My Sheep card. In addition, the form is available on the school website under the Admissions Policy. Every parish family is asked to consider how they are sharing their time, talent and treasure this next year and complete the parish intention card. Please remember that each school family that receives parishioner tuition rate is expected to have a completed Parish Stewardship Intention Card on file.
